Deodato
Eumir Deodato is a Brazilian-born artist, producer and arranger, primarily based in the jazz realm, but also known for eclectic melding of big band and combo jazz with varied elements of rock/pop, R&B/funk, Brazilian/Latin, and symphonic or orchestral music.

His first album in the USA, Prelude, released in 1972, was of a big band Latin jazz style that immediately attracted a wide audience.
